Just updated KIES and can no longer connect my laptop and S4?

I've been using KIES for a year. Was just prompted to update it. Did so (to version 2.6.0.13091.9) and now I can no longer connect my laptop and Galaxy S4.
I'm getting the following message which is, of course, nearly worthless:
     Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies (PC Studio) mode.
     Current connection mode not supported by Kies.
     Check the USB settings.
     (Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging (x))
1) "PC Studio" has no actual meaning; after searching online I found what they're trying to tell me is the phone must be in MTP mode rather than USB debugging mode.
2) The Settings path above is wrong; I DID manage to find the proper path to turn off debugging & switch to MTP, but that doesn't help.
3) uninstalled & reinstalled KIES; no help
Any ideas?
I know 1000's of other people are having this problem, so I'm a bit surprised VZ doesn't have a ready answer here.

Hey there mjr123,
I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with the Samsung Kies software. This is actually a third party application offered through Samsung, so I would recommend reaching out to Samsung's support team for the best assistance.

I just upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer connect to the WIFI any suggestions

I Just up upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer connect to internet - any ideas?

I have the same problem after loading OS X 10.10 Yosemite on my MacBook Pro (Late 2008). Wi-Fi (Time Capsule) connects OK, then I open Safari and it waits for a minute and then gives me a message that it can't load the page because I'm not connected to the Internet. The Wi-Fi is fine. When I run the network analysis, it shows that everything is fine up to the Internet; the dots are red after that. I have another MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) and it loaded and runs with no known problems (so far). I am writing this message on the Late 2008 MacBook Pro, so you can see that there is no problem with the Internet connection. It is a Yosemite problem. My iPhone and newer MacBook Pro connect with no problem. I loaded Yosemite TWICE, then ran the Disk Utility and fixed some disk permissions but there were no other problems identified. Restarting after reloading Yosemite and the same problem is there. Restarted after running the disk utility and fixing disk permissions and it still can't connect to the Internet. Same problem. Does anyone have an idea how this might be fixed? What's going on? Thanks for your help.
Update: Air Drop also doesn't work. Thanks.

I recently installed itunes update and can no longer connect to network nor internet

I recently (sept 2013) installed itunes update and can no longer connect to a network nor internet wired /wireless. I know it is not the gateway as other devices work. Please help. I am not very knowledgable so exact instructions will be most helpful.

Try connecting your computer/laptop directly to the base station with an ethernet cable to one of the external ports and install your network settings. If it finds it there, it will find it after you've reloaded your network info to the base via the Apple Utility. Hopefully when you disconnect afterward, all will be fine. Be sure not to select "closed" network although Macs will login with no prolem, PC's have trouble doing so even with the network data stored in the internet settings.
Good luck!

I have a uk iTunes account but have moved to the Netherlands and can no longer connect to the iStore from my iPad. Do I need to update my iTunes account to a Dutch one?

I have a uk iTunes account but have moved to the Netherlands and can no longer connect or make purchases. Do I need to change my account to a Dutch one?

You can't transfer any content from one account to another account (nor can accounts be merged) - all content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.
Do you not have copies of all of your downloads e.g. on your computer or backup of your downloads/library ? Whilst you are in Australia you can't redownload your UK purchases (you have to be in a country to use its store), if you have them on your computer's iTunes library then you should be able to stream them from it to your Apple TV

I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either.

I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either. Anyone have an idea as to what to do?

I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

Since the new Mevericks update my Air can no longer connect to a shared Itunes lib on Macbook Pro

Hi,
I have two mac laptops at home. My pro and my air. I have it setup so that I stream all my media from my pro to my air.
I updated my pro to the newest Mavericks version. Since that update I can no longer connect to my library on my pro via my air.
Please note that this problem here is with the mac book pro! I updated my air last night and i could still stream.
All I get is the usual "loading library" (on my air's itunes) but it never connects.
Other than restarting the application (on both computers) and restarting (both computers) what else can I do?
Are other people having the same problem??

Hi Bryan,
Thanks for your input.
Unfortunately I cannot get any of the OS X browsers I have tried to get beyond the accepting the site's certificate. All just stall waiting on the Outlook Web Access site. Safari 3.1, Camino, Flock, Firefox (2.0.0.12 and 3 beta 4), Netscape (7.1 and 9), Microsoft's Internet Explorer (thinking that might be more integrated with its Outlook Web Access package).
I have even deleted the certificates from my Keychain (for Safari) or within the other browsers' preferences.
Last night I even re-applied the 10.4.11 combo updater and then checked for software updates to confirm my system was up to date, but again without success when attempting to reach the Outlook Web Access site.
Thanks anyway.
Ted

Disconnect Device through Hotspot and can no longer connect

I recently disconnected a Windows 7 device through the "Connected Devices" option on the Verizon Hotspot. After disconnecting that Windows 7 device I am no longer able to connect through the Verizon Hotspot. I have removed and added back the hotspot profile in Windows 7 and can still not connect. I can still however, connect to other devices on the Verizon hotspot. I receive a simple error message in Windows 7 to verify the encryption settings even those encryption settings are properly set to WPA2. It appears that both devices appear to be out of synch. Has anyone experienced this with other Verizon 4G LTE hotspots? I generally just disconnect the device or turn off the hotspot when disconnecting however, I did not see any hard whatsoever in disconnecting the device through the hotspot "Connected Devices" option. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I need to get one of my business laptops that use Windows 7 back online..

If it's encryption Windows 7 is speaking of, make sure in the wireless adapter settings configuration that not only is on the correct WPA2 as you stated but the encryption matches, such as AES or TKIP.
Otherwise, removing the connection from the Preferred Wireless Networks list and resetting the device should allow a fresh new start.

Once i updated the IOS on my ipod touch itunes can no longer connect to it and gives an unknown error

I just updated ios to 5.1.1 and now i ccan not connect to itunes with it. It gives me an unknown error. Was not able to restore from back up due to this?

And what is the complete wording of the error message?

Installed firmware update, and can no longer connect to AE base station

I have an Airport Express base station and would like to connect to an existing wireless network.
I first attempted to change the AE base station to "client mode" in Admin Utility, but this option was grayed out.
I downloaded and successfully installed the latest version of the firmware, and I also did a factory restart. Now, Admin Utility recognizes the base station, but when I click "configure" and enter my password at the prompt, I get the following message:
"An error occurred while trying to access the base station. Make sure your network connection Is valid and try again. Error code -4"
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Try connecting your computer/laptop directly to the base station with an ethernet cable to one of the external ports and install your network settings. If it finds it there, it will find it after you've reloaded your network info to the base via the Apple Utility. Hopefully when you disconnect afterward, all will be fine. Be sure not to select "closed" network although Macs will login with no prolem, PC's have trouble doing so even with the network data stored in the internet settings.
Good luck!

Upgraded to extreme and can no longer connect to xbox live

My old airport express died so yesterday I bought an airport extreme to replace it. I had no problems setting it up, my powerbook and powermac connect to the internet just fine. My ps3, wii, and apple tv all connect fine. However I lost the ability to connect to xbox live with my xbox360. Running the "Test Xbox Live Connection" test shows that it passes all the tests and is connected to the internet until it reaches the xbox live test where it fails. According to xbox support there are no current outages or problems with my account.
Since the only thing which has recently changed is the upgrade from airport express to an extreme it seems like that is likely the problem. I thought it might be a NAT or port thing but in the airport setup utility there are no options for changing either NAT or port settings.
Any ideas anyone? It looks like a year ago when the extreme came out there were problems between it and the xbox, but it also looks like they were resolved. Also they caused the xbox not to be able to connect to the network at all, which mine can do.
Thanks very much for any ideas or help. Otherwise the extreme is going to have to go back.

That's a drag.
I wish I could be more help, but I can not think of what the problem would be. I have mine connected to a network that bridges two AEBS to allow for a large area WIFI. I have no problems with either of the 360's connected. I have no special port forwarding or any settings changed to get the connection.
I also know that since I just replaced my main base station for an unrelated problem, that it worked out of the box both times.
I would say try direct connecting it. (the xbox) Not necessarily to correct the problem, but to isolate the AEBS as the problem. I would also try shutting down anything else that may be connecting so you only have a connection with your xbox. Again, none of this will probably solve your issue.... but you can get in contact with customer care or visit a genius bar.
In my experience if you can give detailed results to test you have already performed to trouble shoot, they are very receptive to replacing your product. Isolating the AEBS and saying you know t will connect direct, and that even when it is the only device connected.... it fails. I would also try both wireless and wired if you have both options.
I know it is not the optimal answer.... probably a pain.... but sometimes things just work kinda goofy. I know the stuff works and works great when it does... but I have had my share of issues with apple hardware. The good news is they have never failed me when it comes to taking care of it.
Good Luck !!!

I recently updated to Firefox 7, and can no longer connect.

When I try, the browser remains on 'connecting to x.com' phase forever. I checked out the FAQ and there is an entry for this, which says that this problem is caused by internet security software. I use Windows Firewall, and followed the instructions to add a new rule to allow Firefox. However, this did not solve the problem.
